What have we been waiting for? What's taking so long? Much of the technology surrounding digital pathology has been with us for over 20 years. After fits and starts and initial excitement we've been left with disappointment in the past ten years. But now, it seems like the tide is turning and the digital transformation is here.
Our guest is Richard Lash, MD, Chief Medical Officer from Lumea, a company re-imagining pathology by developing a comprehensive end to end workflow. Dr. Lash has had a long career as a pathologist as well as holding leadership positions in addition to Lumea at several prominent organizations including Inform Diagnostics, Ameripath and Mount Sinai Medical Center.
We're going to be talking about how the lack of a cohesive business for digital pathology, lack of a vision to integrate exciting new technologies into everyday workflows has hindered the adoption of digital pathology; what has changed and why now with compelling new technologies including artificial intelligence, we can finally begin to develop and incorporate end to end solutions that can enhance pathologist performance and improve outcomes for doctors and patients.
